NAWABSHAH: Speakers at the 10th death anniversary of Pir Sahab Pagara Syed Shah Mardan Shah in Sanghar on Wednesday paid homage to him for his political acumen and farsightedness.

They said at the program organised by Hur Historical Society at Sanghar press club that Pagara Sahab was a pillar of politics in Pakistan to whom most political leaders used to turn to for advice.

They said that leaders like him were born in centuries. Whenever the country faced threats, Pagara Sahab along with his hurs stood by armed forces. His father Sooriah Badshah realised the slogan of freedom or death and when Pagara Sahab took over, he continued the great family tradition and announced pardon for all enemies, they said.

They said that British Army saluted Pagara Sahab’s student Mohammad Khan Junejo when he became prime minister. Thousands of Hur mujahids were performing duties on the country’s borders, they said.
